Hello Greens and Green friends!
A few of our 2009-2010 goals:
- Continuing to be involved in running and endorsing Greens and select non-Greens for local offices. Working for unification of the New Paltz Village and Town. We are infavor of unifying the Building Departments, Planning Boards and Environmental Conservation Commissions first.
- Working with the NP School Board on implementing humane education programs in schools, as well as finding alternatives to dissection in local schools and reducing meat consumption in school cafeterias.
- Supporting the proposed Wetlands Law and working to ensure it passes.
The New Paltz Green Party is currently in the process of interviewing candidates for local elections. We are posting completed candidate questionnaires on our elections page as we receive them from candidates.
